<PRE>Hi,

Not sure when this started happening but I presume it's a deliberate change.

When I login via text console while already running X11, and do: &quot;export
DISPLAY=:0; xeyes&quot;, I expect to see some googly eyes on my desktop when
I switch back.

But this doesn't seem to work these days. Is there something I can do to
make this work again? I suspect it's maybe related to not knowing the
path to the X11 socket file or something?

Either way, some hints from those more informed than me are appreciated!

Col
